If you haven't seen it, check out foobar2000 [1]. It was created by the same dude that made the original Winamp (which is now owned by Yahoo, IIRC). [1]: https

- modzu 8y agoyes foobar goes back almost as far! i prefer winamp's approach to libraries and playlists though. i also found the dev community around foobar not very welcoming (many years ago)
- rhymenoceros 8y agoAccording to WinAmp folklore, he was a contractor for WinAmp 3 skins and not necessarily a full-time dev: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=118192 http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=118192 You might be thinking of Justin Frankel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Frankel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Frankel The connection is still kind of cool though!
- l_t 8y agoAh, thanks for the correction. I remember being told they had the same creator; that's what got me interested in foobar2000 in the first place, years ago.
- nasredin 8y agoJustin Frankel of NullSoft, WinAmp, WASTE, and now Cockos is a legend. (Also Gnutella IIRC) He has nothing to do with foobar2000, which BTW has a very poor view of FOSS. Foobar still can not do proper crossfading on track change!
- l_t 8y agoYeah, I guess I got the story wrong. Thanks for the correction.
